The Game: The Order: 1886 Current Status: 3-4 hours in, halfway through Chapter 9 (out of 16) The conventional wisdom on The Order: 1886, as far as I can tell, is the following: for a $60 game, it’s far too short and has no lasting value beyond the initial campaign for a third-person cover shooter, …

1. I finished Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris last night. I’m not sure that “underwhelmed” is the right word to describe my experience with it, though I’m having trouble finding something more apt.
